                       HONORING OUR ARMED FORCES


                         Airman Jason J. Doyle

  Mr. HAGEL. Mr. President, I rise to express my sympathy over the loss 
of U.S. Navy Airman Jason Doyle of Nebraska. Airman Doyle died after 
falling overboard from the USS Kitty Hawk off the eastern coast of 
Japan on July 8. He was 19 years old.
  Airman Doyle grew up near Sunset, UT. In 2000, he moved to Bellevue, 
NE and was a 2005 graduate of Papillion-La Vista South High School. He 
joined the Navy immediately following graduation.
  Airman Doyle had a lifelong interest in flying and in Japanese 
culture. He turned those interests into an opportunity with the Navy. 
He was deployed with the Electronic Attack Squadron, VAQ, 136 aboard 
the USS Kitty Hawk in October 2005. His first leave was at a Japanese 
port, where he was able to experience a culture he had been fascinated 
with his entire life. Thousands of brave Americans like Airman Doyle 
are serving the United States worldwide.
  Airman Doyle is survived by his father, Dale Doyle; his mother, 
Martha Bower; his stepmother, Susie Doyle; his brother Brandon; and 
sisters Shauna, Whitney, and Ashley.
  I ask my colleagues to join me and all Americans in honoring Airman 
Jason Doyle.
